Car Battery Maintenance

<< < (3/3)

clarence:
Obviously that workshop was lying or that "new" battery has been in storage for an extended period of time.

Actually I found a symptom from my DVD Player when my batt is going to "dead"

1) Starting 2 months before my batt going to "dead", the radio station preset on my DVD player is lost after I parked overnight.
2) Starting 3 weeks before my batt going to "dead", the radio station preset on my DVD player is lost everytime I start my engine.

According to the foreman, even the batt's idle voltage is 12.7V (seen normal) but when we start our engine, the voltage will drop significantly cos it require more voltage while we starting the engine.

Currently I am using Yuasa brand Dry Battery and I found it is good.  :D

I bought my car Nov 2008 and by Aug 2009, the battery went flat (at 20,999KM). The guy from Tan Chong  whom I called claimed that the battery expired. Then recent the second battery went flat again (12th Aug 2010). It seems to me that there might be some problem with the actuator of my car, but the man from Tan Chong again blame it on the battery. To me it is too much of a coincidence and everytime they come on the road to help me change the battery, it costs me almost SGD100!

I am not sure if any one here has the same experience as I and may be you can share your knowledge.

I think the brand of the battery does matter...some car battery brands have longer warranty as compared to the others...

my car batt went down totally yesterday...a kind soul helped me to jump start but the batt was totally dead...in the end, i had to call AA to come down for a batt change...

the old batt(brand:Aurora) was fitted 16 months ago, and it just went dead without any indications...
the AA guy told me that amaron batteries are quite lasting and they come with 15 months warranty...he did not want to comment about Aurora...i guess it was pretty obvious about this brand...

perhaps the waranty for the batt is a good indication..i am not really sure, perhaps need more inputs from some experts here. :)

pizzaboy:
Varta is another good batt, lasted me for 36 mths b4 i replaced a new batt (varta) again... price wise reasonable, same range as amaron.

speedster:
the battery in my latio does not seem to have any opening to check the battery water. How to know whether it needs topping? :confused1:
